Package: smc
Version: 1.6-1

Hi Alessio,

Thanks for reporting. I have read the bug at launchpad. I'd like to write
something just for clarification, I know that you should know this (reading what
you suggested to do). smc-music is not a direct dependency because of the fact
smc itself, with smc-data both installed, can be executed without any problem.

So let's suppose that someone hates smc's music and we're aware that there is an
option to mute the music. But, why someone who doesn't want the music  has to
download it if anyways the game is able to work without such a package? (even
knowing that an option to mute it exists)

If we look at the size of smc-music, it's a ~28.6 MB package, so in my opinion
it's not fair to download a big package that is not essential to the application
to work. I do agree with the fact that in debian/control smc-music should be
added as a suggested package, because in spite of not being essential, it adds a
further value to the game. So, I will add it as suggested.

On the other hand, if I'd put smc-music  as a dependency of smc there is _no_
any circular dependency nor if I put it as a suggests it will be so. So for
clarifying about what Cesare said, it'd be nice to read these:

Thank you very much for your interest in SMC.

Best Regards,
